Council considers Natimuk land sale

The Horsham Rural City Council is considering selling its properties at Natimuk for residential development.

A report to last night's council meeting has proposed sites at Lake Avenue and Sission Street be sold for residential development in Natimuk after it found the council had no further use for the properties.

The council says an increased demand for houses in the township prompted it to review the use of the sites.

Depending on the layout of the subdivision, between 10 to 30 houses could be built at the Lake Avenue address.

If the council decides to go ahead with the proposal, it could act as the developer or sell the sites to businesses for development.

The plan will be referred to the Natimuk Advisory Committee and Progress Association for comment before it is formally considered by council.
